Sorry if I come across as being insensitive about the catastrophic potentials of a flood but I was really curious when I saw the news on the ‘deepest flood in Venice in 22 years’ and hoped to experience the acqua alta (high water) for myself.

Ryota-san warned me in Florence that vino brulé tastes bad but when I was alone in Venice, I bought myself a cup and yuck!

Hot red wine

I do regret that I didn’t try any gelato or macaroons though. I thought since we have them in Singapore, why not save that money for other things instead. My friends gave me a trashing when I got home claiming I’ve missed out big time and that they taste a million times better in Europe.
